largefiles: check whether specified patterns are related to largefiles strictly current 'lfiles_repo.status()' implementation examines whether specified patterns are related to largefiles in working directory (not to STANDIN) or not by NOT-EMPTY-NESS of below list: [f for f in match.files() if f in lfdirstate] but it can not be assumed that all in 'match.files()' are file itself exactly, because user may only specify part of path to match whole under subdirectories recursively. above examination will mis-recognize such pattern as 'not related to largefiles', and executes normal 'status()' procedure. so, 'hg status' shows '?'(unknown) status for largefiles in working directory unexpectedly. this patch examines relation of pattern to largefiles by applying 'match()' on each entries in lfdirstate and checking wheter there is no matched entry. it may increase cost of examination, because it causes of full scan of entries in lfdirstate. so this patch uses normal for-loop instead of list comprehensions, to decrease cost when matching is found.

Mercurial's default format for showing changes between two versions of
a file is compatible with the unified format of GNU diff, which can be
used by GNU patch and many other standard tools.
While this standard format is often enough, it does not encode the
following information:
- executable status and other permission bits
- copy or rename information
- changes in binary files
- creation or deletion of empty files
Mercurial also supports the extended diff format from the git VCS
which addresses these limitations. The git diff format is not produced
by default because a few widespread tools still do not understand this
format.
This means that when generating diffs from a Mercurial repository
(e.g. with :hg:`export`), you should be careful about things like file
copies and renames or other things mentioned above, because when
applying a standard diff to a different repository, this extra
information is lost. Mercurial's internal operations (like push and
pull) are not affected by this, because they use an internal binary
format for communicating changes.
To make Mercurial produce the git extended diff format, use the --git
option available for many commands, or set 'git = True' in the [diff]
section of your configuration file. You do not need to set this option
when importing diffs in this format or using them in the mq extension.
